It appears that you have set defines according to the heading you want first, second, third, etc. It doesn't work that way; you need to make the define refer to the category id or cPath of the first category in your desired group (after you have all the categories arranged in the order you want them). So "Jewellery Making" needs to be

PHP Code:

---

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_42','1|0|||Jewellery Making|1'); 


---

and the others need to be headings _125, _135 and _136 (if I recall correctly).
You need to use the category id number, not the URL rewrite you have set up for a category.

Fantastic! That seems to have worked. Which part do I need to alter for the heading for each section as I want them all to look like the header for Jewellery supplies.

Thankou
Amy

'1|0|||Jewellery Making|1' specifies a type "1" heading, and if the others have this same syntax, they will have the same kind of heading.

If you want to change the heading styling, edit .catBoxHeading1 {} or whatever rule is applicable in stylesheet_categories_dressing.css.

Hi everyone...

Can you tell me how I might be able to incorporate Images for Titles with Categories Dressing? Maybe it's been posted here and I overlooked it.

I installed both, and both work well...i just can't seem to get them to work together. If I use the basic categories side box, I get my image but need to heavily modify the css to have the right look for the categories tree...but I don't really like it.

I can use the chcategories sidebox and I really like the look but can't seem to find my image header. I tried this: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...ages-as-titles but that didn't work either.

I named the image boxhead-categories.png (which I set to png) and added it to every place I could add images and it will not show up with the chcategories box. Any clue? Am I naming it wrong since I'm using the ch categories sidebox and if so...what should I name it?

Thanks so much for your help!!! :)

If you are using the chcategories option, you need to name the file boxhead-chcategories.png.

Hey gjh...YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I knew it was a simple solution but sometimes the answer is so obvious we don't even see it. Thank you so much!!! :)

Is this plugin compatible with 1.5.1 ? I would like to set up several category boxes for different things ..

http://dezertdezinez.com/workspace

The categories would be as follows:

Photogrphy under this we want
1
2
3

Scrap kits
1
2
3
4

Greeting Cards
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Scrap Books
1
2
3
4

Insperational Photos
1
2
3
Post cards

Is this possible with this plug in ..

thank you

Yes, Categories Dressing works with any version of Zen Cart within the last 6 or 7 years - older than anyone should be using:) - up to the latest, and will work with v1.5.2 when it is released.

The setup you show should be possible with the chcategories option, and "category groups" for each top category.
